I’ve long wanted to inject more live into my web presence and this blog in particular. It’s work in progress – one of my main sites is currently not even live! Wherever we may end up though, informal writing about science and the changing northern environment is something I want to do more of. So I’ve made two changes to give this site more oomph:

• I’ve added a custom domain, borealperspectives.org, to this (currently) WordPress-hosted site. All URLs will work fine, whether you access them via borealperspetives.wordpress.com and the new borealperspectives.org. This is, unless and until I may decide in the future to move the site off WordPress.com, but that’s not in the stars right now.
• I’ve moved to the smallest paid account to remove ads from the site. Only when I happened to access it from a browser that was not logged into WordPress.com did I see how intrusive the ads would be. It’s not much money, and I hope will make for more comfortable reading.
